Woman.
Mr*. Topflat —“Just gaze at that skirt! Looks like a piece
. of Swiss cheese. Full of holes. My washwoman
must use quick lime instead of soap.”
Anti/ “Why don’t you wash at home ?”
A/r>\ Topflat ’At home, indeed! Why, a you know,

water is al! that’s needed winter or summer. And I’ll
guarantee your clothes will never again be freckled

No sensible woman wants to do more
work than is necessary to accomplish the

There are women who take a full day
to do the weekly wash when it can be done
in half the time and far better.
Is this because they don’t know the

MISS ZANA CURZON.
(One of the beauties in Ziegfeld's "Follies of 1912" Companj;.)
By ZANA CURZON.
IE you'can wear apple green without
looking like a fright, you may be
pretty sure you have a good com
plexion.
Apple green is the test of beauty, so
far as skin and coloring go.
1 had an apple green dress once, and
it was a perfect, tragedy, for a while,
at least.
1 can say truthfully thpt apple green
Is the most unbecoming color in the
world, unless you are one in a thou
sand, and have a dear, white skin, and
faint rose-colored cheeks, and look like
the apple blossom which ought to hang
on the apple green bough.
This famous dress was presented to
me by a relative, one of the kind who
gives you the things that are popular
at the moment, or that somebody else
tells her would make appropriate gifts.
I didn’t want a green dress, because 1
don't care for that color anyhow, and
my heart was set on a fur collar. But
what can you do? You have to take
what yoh got, though in some future
existence 1 hope we will be allowed to
c hoose our own gifts.
A Fright in Green.
The green dress came to stay, and
not long afterward the giver paid us a
visit. Naturally it was expected of me
that I should wear the gdvvn she had
bought me. and I sacrificed myself and,
my vanity on the altar of gratitude and
wore the green dress for the first time,
though I had had it for several months
and usually wear anything at once
Well, in that dress I simply looked a
fright. Billows of green chiffon and
greener taffeta threw their ghostlike
shadows and reflections on my face,
and if I ever had any illusions about
being a pretty girl I lost them on the
minute.
You have seen those plants that
spring up in the darkness of the cellar,
potato shoots and pale, pathetic-look
ing onion sprouts. -I looked like a cross
between those vegetables and the
i greenery-yellowry picture of a futurist
I painter.
I could have cried, only that would
have made my nose red. and I thought
things were bad enough already.
My heart was filled with rage at the
giver of this dreadful frock, which
showed up every one of the carefully
hidden Imperfections of my complexion
and which even seemed to kill the color
of my hair and eyes.
1 marched down into the sitting room
where the family were waiting for me
like an indignant tragedy queen going
to the scaffold. Families do not spare
your feelings, and I can tell you that by
the end of dinner 1 was doing every
thing in the world to control my temper
and my tears.
They called he “ghosty” and “green
face" and made all kinds of unpleasant
remarks about tny sallow-looking com
plexion. and I was glad when dinner
| was over, and I could escape to my
room.
1 tore oft’ the wretched green dress
and settled dowrt to have a good cry.
There was a knock on {he door, and
the old cousin who had given me the
frock came in She was all sympathy
and sweetness, and remarked:
"Well, my dear, 1 hope that you will
i profit by this little lesson.”
"Lesson? What lesson can there be
in making me look perfectly hideous?”
1 sobbed.
"Several, as you will find." she re
turned "1 have been noticing forsome
time that you were thinking too much
about your looks, and so I decided to
show you that \ou greatly exaggerate
them You have nice eyes ami hair,
and good features, but like a great
many girls, you think that your com
plexion is good becatiße'you cover ovei
Its defects with a little powder, which.
I by the wav, is perfe< tly noticeable to
i every body
The Lesson
"If you wet. rtvallv pretty you* would
have the first great principle of beauty ,
which is health That shows tn a good
I complexion, and then you would he able
to wear that grevu and look liku
the apple blossom which should grow
with it.”
"But what can I do about it?"
"I am going to tell you,” said the
old cousin. "We shall have a little
secret together, and some dpy we will
astonish the family. You will begin by
giving away that box of candy that you
have on your table, and I will send up a
dish of fruit for you instead. Before
breakfast I want you to drink a great

Pages one and two belonged to the
Liberals and pages three and four to
the Socialists, and the two parties

Across the lake artificial islands sup

The Russian royal special train is the

A curious ceremony which takes place
at Whitsuntide is that which is enacted
in the parish church schools at St.
Ives, Huntingdonshire. The custom
dates back to 1675, when Dr. Robert
Wilde left money for the purpose. He
directed that the minister and church
wardens should purchase six Bibles,
that the minister should preach a ser

about my looks that I would have done
almost anything. So if wasn't difficult
for me to obey orders, and follow out
her instructions, even when her visit

We had arranged that she should
come back to spend a week with us in
two months. She arrived just before
dinner time, but I did not go down to
see her, but waited until all the family
had gathered together at the table.
I stood before the mirror fastening up
the apple green dress, and this time I
was not only happy but grateful, for
the dress was immensely becoming, and
showed up the fresh pink color in my
cheeks and the clear white skin which
I bad acquired by strictly following out
my cousin’s rules for diet.
I made a triumphant entry into the
dining room, and I felt Amply repaid by
the compliments I received for the
work and drudgery of two months of i

The Kind You Have Always Bought.
is the caution applied to tfie public announcement of Castoria that has
been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over
30 years—the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and
mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in
black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides
oi the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the
past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present
duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro
ducing into their families spurious medicines.
It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the
nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should
more properly be termed . conterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for
adults, but worse yet, for children’s medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother
to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves
but the child has to rely on the mother’s watchfulness.

:: Making a Man Over ;;
By Beatrice Fairfax
"Some pray to marry the man they
love;
My prayer will somewhat vary;
I humbly pray to heaven above
That I love the man I marry."
—Rose Pastor Stokes.
A GEORGIA girl writes:
AA "I am seventeen and deeply in
love with a man three years my
. senior. My mother likes him, although
| she says he will never make a man of
j himself, and wouldn't like to have me
! marry him. I would" like to marry him
I because we agree, and I believe if we
i were parted our hearts would break.
I He is the only child in the family and
| his parents have spoiled him. I would
like to know how I can break him of
this so that my mother can like him in
all his ways.”
My dear, you are praying to marry
the man you love. With the task be
fore you of making him over, you will
have great need of praying to love the
man ypu marry.
Your mother says he wilKnever make
a man of himself. If her judgment is
biased, or not, this remains true and of
importance: She is looking at him
with eyes that seek her daughter's hap
piness, and no woman was ever happy
as the wife of a man who failed to
make a man of himself.
After love comes to a woman she
loses what we will call "ambition for
herself.” She grows ambitious for her
husband, and will make any sacrifice,
undergo any privation, to further his
chances. If he has a talent, she will
deny herself necessities to provide him
with the means to cultivate it, and in
numberless times when a man arrives
at the top it was with the aid of a
meek little woman the world never
hears about.
If he is content with the mediocre,
if he has ,io thought of the future be
yond rent day, and is never prepared
for that, her discouraged hopes find
new life in her children. She becomes
ambitious for them, and many a woman
has been to Gethsemane twice because
of the heritage of worthlessness her
children received from their father.
Your lover lacks every quality which
a man should need to make a man of
himself, and, in addition, is hopelessly
spoiled. He can never be a man be
cause he will always be a baby, and
he will always be a baby because his
parents have always carried him,
My dear, the task you would under
take is heavy beyond your strength.
You would like to marry him because
